...without some sexually explicit film to stoke outrage and fill screening rooms. Those randy days are long gone, and this year the only erotic hoo-hah was for this intimate German drama about, to get right to the point, naked old people making love - but nothing explicit, danke. Inge (Ursula Werner), a plain hefty woman in her early 60s, is more or less happily married to 70-something Werner (Horst Rehberg), whose idea of excitement is to listen to recordings of model-train sound effects.

The young newcomer who plays Ariel, Sierra Boggess, gets to show off a pretty voice and, once she loses it, some pretty good...
...decision coincides with a general warming in public opinion toward the film project and toward the American star in Germany. But some critics are still not happy. Ursula Caberta, who is in charge of a government office that monitors Scientology in Germany, told TIME that the about-face is like "handing a trophy to Scientology," adding: "Tom Cruise is not just Tom Cruise, but a figurehead of an anti-constitutional organization, and he should be treated that...
